2002 Grand Alaskan 53 RPH
Rare Find | Great Loop, Down East Loop & Caribbean Capable

Rare, proven, and exceptionally versatile—this 2002 Grand Alaskan 53 RPH is one of less than ten 53-foot Grand Alaskans built and has already demonstrated her ability to cruise where many larger yachts cannot. At 53 feet, she occupies a particularly desirable position for the serious cruising owner. She completed the Down East Loop in 2024 and the Great Loop in 2025, including the Trent-Severn Waterway, making her a rare combination of a yacht capable of navigating the inland waterways while also possessing the size, stability, range, and systems for true coastal and offshore passage making. That versatility is difficult to find in a yacht of this caliber.

Her 1,100-gallon fuel capacity, twin Caterpillar 3126B 450 HP diesels, Naiad stabilizers with oversized hydraulic fins, twin Northern Lights generators, dual helms, extensive SIMRAD navigation electronics, watermaker, large tender, and generous living accommodations make her equally suited to extended inland cruising, the Down East Loop, and future Caribbean adventures.

The Grand Alaskan 53 combines classic trawler styling with a spacious, highly functional interior and the systems needed for extended time aboard. Her raised pilothouse provides excellent visibility and a protected helm, while the upper helm and flybridge create an outstanding outdoor command and entertaining area.
